Ingredients: For the pickles; large handful of radishes grated, 1 large carrot grated, 1 large cucumber grated, 100ml of rice wine vinegar, 100ml of water, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. sugar, 1 large or a few small jars.

For the spicy mayo; 2 tbsps. of mayo, 1 tsp. of jalepeano peppers (more if you like it really spicy), 1 grated thumb sized piece of ginger

First make your pickles, (these can be made a few days ahead), by layering the grated vegetables into sterilised jars

In a pan add the rice wine vinegar, water and sugar and salt

Bring to the bowl then pour into the jars and put the lids on straight away

Allow to cool and store in the fridge

For the mayo just mix all of your ingredients together and set aside in the fridge until ready to use, again can be made in advanced as long as in air tight container

When ready to make your rolls, slice your aubergine into thin slices and leave on a plate covered with kitchen paper for one hour

Pre-heat your grill, lay your aubergine out on a baking tray and drizzle with oil cook for 6 mins each side, but keep an eye on them so they don’t burn

To serve, cut your brioche buns down the middle add a layer of the spicy mayo, then the auberinge, topping with the pickled veg, fresh coriander, a sprinkle of cinnamon and a lemon wedge

Enjoy!

NB. If you have any pickles left over keep them in the fridge, they should be good for a couple of weeks.
